Office Administration - Legal

Program Information

This program provides you with relevant administrative and high–level technological skills to meet the demands of the current and emerging legal office environment.

As a student in the program, you will master in three consecutive semesters (12 months), the skills and knowledge traditionally offered in a four–semester program. In the first semester, you'll acquire a solid foundation of business office procedures and intermediate–level computer skills, along with an introduction to the legal system. The final two semesters specialize in Legal Office Administration with advanced–level technological skills. Areas of concentration include litigation, family, corporate, real estate and estate law. Workplace simulations assist you in transferring the learned skills and knowledge to the work environment. Computer skills and business office practices are also readily transferable to other academic and career paths.
